Google limits Meta's use of its Gemini AI models

A blog for your product, if your product is already on the cloud, is a very sensible use case for the cloud. Static one deployed to a bucket and a CDN, fast, cache on the edge, high availability.

The tiny blog sure isn't for the cloud, but also it's not the main client of the cloud.

> it's 20% more than you are currently using and you pay 300% more for that.

I'm assuming you are comparing to self hosting. Then you need to account for things that are difficult to put a price like your time maintaining a physical infrastructure and the lessons you will learn with it.

Sounds like I'm defending the big cloud, but there is a valid use that is disconsidered because it's trendy to hate on the cloud.

> They confine you to a relatively small amount of resources the entire time you have an account. If you want more you have to request it.

It's a form of KYC, nothing wrong with that.

Must be to classify/moderate images for social media. They're pretty good at that. I can't imagine what else you'd want to use Gemini models for, certainly not coding.

Image/video understanding still quite cost effective from the Gemini flash series models?

Image generation and veo models I’d imagine quite effective for creators; new Instagram accounts with AI content that are garnering millions of followers in spans of weeks are quite common now

I am a huge fan of Google Gemini, but Antigravity is not a good product. Just recently I've had issues with:

* Repeated instances of incorrect code insertion that the agent cannot clean up. Sure, version control, but this is often happening in new files that aren't even in version control yet.

* Lost chat history when I close and restart the app.

* Not being able to restore a chat from the history (just saw this last week).

* Overly broad searches that waste time and tokens.

* No vertical scroll bar arrows. WTF?? Doesn't the interface look "flat" enough already? This feels arbitrary and stupid.

* The previous chat prompt takes up a large portion of the vertical space of the chat window, even on a high res display.

When it works Antigravity is excellent. When it doesn't work, it's absolutely horrible. If you check the update history, there are usually just a few items and they're super generic things like "Fixed a bug with text entry.".

I don't see it improving at any kind of reasonable pace, even over the last 6 months As a result, I've mostly relegated Antigravity to a planning tool and it does an excellent job. Or I use it to write prompts that I give to Codex. It definitely can do an excellent job writing code sometimes, but sometimes it also does an absolutely horrible job with not breaking the code when it inserts it. It seems to be terrible at understanding C++ braces. How often? Way too often. I always know it's happening because it prompts me to run Git while it's doing something. LOL, that's how I know that it's broken something.

Codex is definitely way, way, way better. It's not even a contest at this point. Codex never breaks my code. It might not always do what I want, but it's just an order of magnitude better than Antigravity. Antigravity really feels like a comedy of errors at this point. ESPECIALLY from a company with Google's resources.

Facebook is ethically challenged and that's putting it very very very mildly. Yes, they have unlimited money, but at a certain point, it comes across like a rich dude at a bar telling a beautiful woman that he'll buy her a diamond bracelet if she will just come over to his place right now. They make my skin crawl.
